FLIR Thermal Imagers<br />
for Ground Law Enforcement and <strong>First</strong> <strong>Responders</strong>
PATROLIR PRO<br />
PATROLIR PRO<br />
The PatrolIR Pro is a thermal imaging system designed for use on a variety of law enforcement<br />
vehicles, from patrol cars to larger command vehicles. Its thermal camera lets officers see<br />
clearly enough to conduct pursuit and surveillance actions in total darkness.<br />
PatrolIR Pro is a compact, multi-sensor thermal and visible light imaging system with an<br />
integrated pan/tilt mechanism that lets officers scan 360° without leaving their vehicle. This<br />
small pan/tilt system features a color Sony TV camera and a powerful thermal camera with a<br />
35mm lens and a 2X e-zoom feature.<br />
PatrolIR Pro is the perfect addition to command vehicles that use mast-mounted cameras for<br />
security, surveillance, and event security. It’s also the ideal fit for law enforcement applications<br />
that demand compact size and rugged performance; PatrolIR Pro can detect a man-sized target<br />
from more than 3,000 feet away. PatrolIR Pro delivers crisp thermal and long-range daylight/<br />
lowlight imagery, all in a compact package. Operators can switch quickly between sensors for<br />
constant situational awareness.
PATHFINDIR LE<br />
The PathFindIR LE is a compact thermal imager that allows officers to see in total darkness:<br />
up to four times farther away than they can with their headlights. It also lets officers see clearly<br />
through smoke, allowing them to respond safely to brush or tunnel fires.<br />
PathFindIR LE can see man-sized targets from over 1,000 feet away, giving officers more time<br />
to react during pursuits, and enhancing their surveillance capabilities.<br />
Emergency vehicles travel at high speeds, so they take longer to stop and are more likely to<br />
get into an accident. PathFindIR LE helps drivers of these vehicles see hazards from farther<br />
away, giving them more time to react and reducing the likelihood of an accident, saving lives<br />
and property.<br />
PathFindIR LE is available in kit form or as a camera only module. It’s compact and mounts easily<br />
behind grilles or on light bars.<br />

FLASHSIGHT<br />
FLASHSIGHT<br />
FLIR’s compact, affordable FlashSight is a lightweight, hand held thermal imaging scope that<br />
allows officers to see in total darkness, through fog, smoke, and most obscurants. FlashSight<br />
makes officers more effective at nighttime pursuit and surveillance, while enabling them to see<br />
things like drugs and guns that suspects may throw away.<br />
Officer safety is the #1 priority. FlashSight helps officers stay safe by seeing the suspect’s body<br />
heat. When an officer searches for a suspect with a flashlight or searchlight, the suspect knows<br />
where you are and where you are looking. This can make it easier for the suspect to escape; it<br />
can even make you a target. With FlashSight, officers can see the suspect they’re looking for<br />
before the suspect can see them, increasing officer safety.<br />
FLIR’s FlashSight uses the same technology that airborne law enforcement crews use to<br />
support you overhead. With FlashSight you can quickly identify recently parked cars, and find<br />
objects discarded at a crime scene. It provides “instant-on” imaging capability, and only needs 4<br />
commercially available AA batteries to operate; it will run 7 hours with Lithium cell batteries.
What is IR?<br />
Thermal imagers make pictures from heat, not light; detecting and displaying the minute<br />
differences in heat energy that are around us all the time.<br />
Day and night, in good weather and bad, everything gives off thermal energy. What’s more, the<br />
hotter something is the more thermal energy it gives off. FLIR imagers use this energy to make<br />
pictures that look like black and white TV video.<br />
Because everything generates heat, thermal cameras can see as well at night as they can<br />
during the day. What’s more, thermal energy passes through many obscurants including<br />
smoke, dust, and light fog better than visible light. Visible light detectors (like our eyes) are not<br />
very useful at night or in poor weather without the help of lights. FlashSight, PatrolIR Pro, and<br />
PathFindIR LE don’t have this problem.<br />
Why FLIR?<br />
FLIR, the largest commercial infrared company in the world, provides military-hardened<br />
products at commercial prices. We control the design, production, quality and supply of all<br />
components vital to our thermal imaging systems: detectors, coolers, optics and lasers. No one<br />
else can say that.<br />
FLIR designs and manufactures all of these critical components here in the USA. This<br />
ensures fast service support, and keeps unplanned component obsolescence – or problems with<br />
suppliers – from leaving you high and dry. FLIR is the risk-free solution.<br />
